And for good reason! Iraq put Afghanistan on the back burner for over seven years. Of *course* things deteriorated! How can you defend the neglect of our troops in that country for that long?

Honestly: Iraq is the more important theater. Afghanistan and its people don’t matter except in as far as it can be a terrorist haven. Iraq has a key strategic position and large quantities of oil, which we need to keep flowing.
